China Airlines, a Taiwan-based carrier, will inaugurate its Taipei-Phoenix non-stop service on December 3. Company president Kevin Chen flew to the U.S. on September 19 (Pacific Coast Time) to meet and exchange ideas with Wang Ying-Lang, TSMC Vice President of operations and CEO of TSMC Arizona.

TSMC is a giant in the global foundry industry and an important corporate client of China Airlines. Since 2021, China Airlines has assisted TSMC with carrying out more than 20 passenger or hold charter cases between Los Angeles, San Francisco, Phoenix City, Kumamoto and Taiwan. According to China Airlines President Kevin Chen, as the leading airline in Taiwan, the carrier boasts a comprehensive passenger-cargo network as well as one of the largest all-freighter fleets in Asia. The airline will continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with its enterprise members through robust project management, flexible route planning and a user-oriented service experience.

China Airlines and TSMC have worked closely together in various areas in recent years. Regional business travel accounts were consolidated to provide TSMC’s global employees with preferential fares and exclusive privileges. Both companies are now committed to realizing Net Zero by 2050. The SAF Carbon Reduction Program for Corporate Business Travel was the first airline-business partnership in Taiwan to make use of domestically produced Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF). The initiative is expected to reduce TSMC's carbon emissions from business travel by over 1,000 metric tons a year and directly support energy transformation in Taiwan.
